Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
A new report from the Anti-Defamation League shows that anti-Semitic attacks in the United States jumped 21 percent in the last year.
The shocking statistics counter a ten year decline in attacks on Jews.
Abraham Foxman of the ADL says that “The United States still continues to be unique in history” when it comes to being a safe place for Jews. However, the rise in incidents raises concern because 40 percent of the world’s Jews live in the U.S.
“It’s still different here than anywhere else, but don’t take anything for granted, and be concerned,” Foxman said.
The ADL researchers say that the rise is likely connected to the 50-day war where Islamic terrorists were attacking Israel. Some of the incidents that were quoted in the report include vandals painting “Jews are killing innocent children” on a gate of a Jewish summer camp and spray painting “God Bless Gaza” on a synagogue in Massachusetts.
2014 also included a fatal shooting outside a Jewish Community Center in Overland Park, Kansas by an avowed anti-Semite.
